Verse 1
D 
G 
When I  was a child, I spoke as a child
D 
Now I'm a grown woman but
A 
my thoughts are still wild
D 
I thought I'd seen London
G 
or maybe Paris
D 
A 
But I'm starin' at cornfields
D 
and they're starin' at me

Verse 2
A 
But dreams are just things
Bm 
that keep in a jar
E 
You bury your dreams or you
Esus4 
A 
wish on a star
G 
For an ocean line ticket back
A 
Bm 
to where you were born
Esus4 
A 
Away from these hard     times
D 
and the acres of corn

Verse 3
D 
G 
Every now and again I take a small drink
D 
From the blackberry brandy
A 
hidden under the sink
D 
And I pull out that steam trunk
G 
and put on my gown
D 
And I waltz through these cornfields
A 
D 
'til I fall to the ground

Verse 4
A 
But dreams are just things
Bm 
that you keep in a trunk
Esus4 
E 
'til the men are out work     in' or
A 
you've gone a bit drunk
G 
Then you unlock your dreams,
A 
Bm 
but they're tattered and   worn
Esus4 
Em 
E 
Esus4 
So you stare out the win      dow
A 
D 
at the acres of corn
